Thirty seven weeks. We are cleared for take off by the midwife and photographer. Good to go.

However Christopher has a fever - we’re pretty sure his nasty allergy attack has turned into a sinus infection but we’ll need to decide if we’re going to let his body fight it off for a couple days or head to his pediatrician and confirm this and have the antibiotic discussion. If I wasn’t about to have a baby we would do just comfort measures and let his body fight and his doctor is slow to prescribe antibiotics, which we like. But with a new baby arriving we may want to confirm that’s what this is and start him on meds? I’m not sure.

And did I mention our babysitter for the younger two kids called to say her son has the chicken pox? Yep. Arranging a babysitter should not be the most complicated and stressful part of a birth.

Ultrasound this morning to check my scar. Wednesday I’ll try to get my last pre-baby haircut. Thursday is history group. Friday is a lunch group with women from church and Saturday is the stake water park party that Kit will take the older kids to if I’m not in labor.

Someone from the primary presidency (kids’ group at church) came into his class yesterday to ask C if he would be there next week - probably asking him to give a talk or prayer. He told us his answer was, “We’re about to have a baby any day now so I’m not sure.” How cute is that?? We’ve not said that to him so it made us chuckle but it’s accurate. A new friend made us a great baby gift, I’ll have to post a picture because she wrapped it in a leopard print paper and Kit was carrying it around church all afternoon. She sewed us a sage green hooded bath towel that Bennett and Emy are already fighting over.

Seriously, I’m having a baby in the next week or so??
